No-GIL mode coming for Python

Many that praise async/await in C#, kind of forget it took about 10 years to spread across all the layer of the language and runtime, since it was done via IL rewriting, it caused several issues with F# async tasks, due to the age of the ecosystem plenty of code isn't async/await friendly and needs to be wrapped into Task.Run() or similar.

There is a best practices guideline from one of the ASP.NET architects, https://github.com/davidfowl/AspNetCoreDiagnosticScenarios/b...

During last year they researched adding Go/Java's approach to .NET, but now it is too late. See the ASP.NET Q&A session at BUILD 2023.

This seems to be the relevant part of the Q&A: https://youtu.be/H5jI76Fq420?t=2396

Aside from being to late (already having two models and not wanting to add a third) they also mention that the Go/Java approach adds a performance penalty when calling native APIs.
